The founders of the kibbutz were morally appalled by what they saw in the Jewish settlers there "with their Jewish overseers, Arab peasant laborers, and Bedouin guards." They saw the new villages and were reminded of the places they had left in Eastern Europe.

Among the first Zionist pioneers, the "Biluim" were characteristically secular.
Rejecting the "sha-shtill" quiescence of their parents and rabbis, appalled by what Judaism had become, they moved to Israel in 1882 a decade before Herzl's epiphany.
Forty years after the Biluim, and many failures and successes later, the great poet Chaim Nahman Bialik offered a similar tribute to the rationalism and passion, the nationalism and revitalized religionism, the modernism and the traditionalism, so central to most Zionism.
